Before I put it on bugzilla, maybe someone can explain this:

https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Anatole_France

has a link to

http://openlibrary.org/authors/OL91522A

in the "External links" section, via {{OL_author|id=OL91522A}}

However, on

https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/w/api.php?action=query&prop=ex...

there is no sign of that link. Neither is it in the toolserver mirror database.

I tried action=purge, to no avail.

Is there some template substitution magick at play, is it a stray one-off thing, or a real bug?
